The organized team activities mean little, so don’t believe the media hype that has already started over Eagles rookie wide receiver Jordan Matthews.

Though he caught two touchdown passes from Mark Sanchez during a drill last Monday and four straight passes on Tuesday, Matthews is not ready for the Hall of Fame just yet.

For all we know, the second-round draft choice from Vanderbilt could turn into the second coming of Jerry Rice, the greatest wide receiver in NFL history. It wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility. After all, they are cousins.

The reality is that we can’t know how good Matthews, or anyone else, is just from watching the OTAs. That’s because the collective bargaining agreement from the summer of 2011 made sure there were several safeguards in place to minimize injuries during the offseason.

There is no contact allowed. Heck, players aren’t even allowed to wear pads. That means defenders can’t play press coverage on receivers. The defensive linemen and outside linebackers like first-round pick Marcus Smith can’t aggressively rush the passer.

And forget about hitting, let alone tackling.

“Look at some of the young [offensive linemen],” Eagles coach Chip Kelly said. “Is he a good drive blocker? Well, we can’t drive block each other … I understand [on defense] that would have been a sack. But we can’t go near the quarterback. We have to stay away.”

But the OTAs aren’t a waste. Far from it. The Eagles have another session this week with a three-day mandatory minicamp before they and the rest of the NFL break until training camp in late July. The Eagles are relishing the opportunity to have the entire team present for these glorified practices, where Kelly can tinker like a mad scientist with the offense while watching how the defense handles all of the machinations.

This is how Matthews looks at it, too. Sure, he and Sanchez have what appears to be a strong rapport so far. But if the Eagles’ season goes the way they’re hoping, Matthews will be establishing that rapport with starting quarterback Nick Foles, not Sanchez.

That means Matthews will have to work his way up to the starting slot receiver. That probably won’t happen this week.

“It’s a learning process,” Matthews said. “When I first got here, I didn’t know anything. I’m trying to learn. I’m trying to figure out what it means to be a pro.”

Kelly isn’t concerned about the fact that the rookies are with the second and third teams. For him, the OTAs are a chance to get practice film on players, to figure out ways the offense can get even faster while the rookies acclimate themselves to the NFL.

Besides, every team is bound by the same set of rules, so there’s no use complaining.

“I look at it [like] here are the rules and just implement them,” Kelly said. “I hear people complain about them, but [the rules] are not going to change. This is the amount of time and it’s how it’s allotted. So how do we use it as efficiently as possible? That’s what we are always looking to do.”

The important work, then, will have to wait until training camp. That’s when the Eagles will start finding out if Matthews, Smith and some of the other rookies can merit reps with the first unit.

And that’s when they’ll start to understand if Foles can be even better than he was last season.

“Hopefully, I’m improving,” Foles said. “My goals are to continue to move better. When I say that, I mean in the pocket, be more efficient, stay tight. I like throwing the ball down field, so continuing to grow with my teammates on that, but being smart, find the check-downs early, not staying on a read too long.

“It’s an everyday thing, but so far, we’re looking good.”

That’s easy to say now, when optimism is everywhere and even a rookie can resemble a future Hall of Famer.
